LONGLISTED FOR THE WALTER SCOTT PRIZE FOR HISTORICAL FICTION 'To tell the story of a country or a continent is surely a great and complex undertaking; but the story of a quiet, unnoticed place where there are few people, fewer memories and almost no reliable records - a place such as Glen Conach - may actually be harder to piece together. The hazier everything becomes, the more whatever facts there are become entangled with myth and legend. . .'

In particular, it holds the stories of three different eras, separated by centuries yet linked by location, by an ancient manuscript an...

"And the serpent case out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman and went to make war with her . . . to devour her." -- Revelation 12:15-17 and 12:4. The Endtime Beast is a system of law borrowed from the law of the sea implemented inland so that the "ecclesia" (the remnant) are forced into earnest demonstration. This system of law is patterned after the maritime trust that transfers the commercial interests of the people, called "suretyship," to alien strangers wherein commerce knows no bounds and is typified by a flood.
